Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers, PhD, LMFT, CST‑S, PAT (she/her) is a Swedish American therapist, educator, and author whose childhood on her grandparents’ homestead near Puget Sound—within Coast Salish territory—deeply shaped her values of community, resilience, and land stewardship.
Now residing in Sandy, Oregon—on the lands of the Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Clackamas Peoples—she lives with her partner on sacred wooded acreage. There, at Blackberry Retreat Center, she offers retreats and trainings for clinicians on the 4‑D Wheel for Expansive Integration and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
As the first in her immigrant family to earn an advanced degree, Tina spent nearly three decades as a professor of marriage and family therapy, medical family therapy, and human sexuality before authoring two influential books: Sex, God & the Conservative Church and Shameless Parenting, both recognized for their impact on healing the results of authoritarian parenting, religious sexual shame, and trauma, and empowering relational intimacy.
She is the founder and chief advisor to the Northwest Institute on Intimacy—offering postgraduate clinician training in sex therapy and relational health—and Founder and Executive Director of Inanna Rising, a clinician membership collective dedicated to equitable, just, and patient-centered psychedelic-assisted therapy training and support for activists and clinicians. Blackberry Retreat Center seeks to support the healing and restoration of clinicians, healers, and activists so they and their work might have a deeper impact.
Dr. Tina remains committed to social justice, integrity, and weaving cutting edge cultural, spiritual, and sexual healing into a compassionate praxis.

Regina Wei, LMFT (she/they), is an IFS trained Couples and Family Therapist with a specialization in Sex Therapy who will soon be certified in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (May, 2025). Born and raised in a suburb of Seattle on the unceded ancestral lands of the Duwamish people, Regina is a second generation Chinese American who identifies as neurodiverse and queer; they acknowledge their privilege as a well-educated, fair-skinned, straight-passing individual.
The many years that Regina lived in Mongolia, China, Thailand, and Hawai'i fundamentally shaped how they move about in the world while also informing their approach to working with sacred plant medicines. Their Chinese ancestry and experiences living in non-Western (predominantly Buddhist) cultures provide a deep spiritual foundation that supports them in slowing down, staying connected with Nature, and prioritizing a collective/communal approach to healing.
Regina's background includes classroom teaching as well as practicing and teaching meditation, yoga, and energy healing. Their practice centers folx who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and/or neurodiverse and focuses on healing racial, intergenerational, sexual, and other traumas.
Standing up for racial and social justice in a Self-led (IFS) way is a priority for Regina. Before the midlife career change from teaching to providing therapy, Regina served as one of the main DEIJ (diversity, equity, inclusion and justice) practitioners at an independent school where they helped facilitate DEIJ conversations among students, faculty, and administration, co-led a DEIJ task force, and was a member of the hiring committee for the school's new Director of Equity. www.ReginaWei.com

Dr. Leslie Drapiza, MD (she/her) is a board-certified Family Medicine physician who pivoted her career to psychedelic assisted therapy after working in primary care and obstetrics for over 15 years. As a primary care physician, she witnessed her patients struggle with treatment resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. She saw how the current medical system continued to fail them.
She discovered psychedelics and experienced how they helped to heal her own trauma and improve her mental health. Knowing that her patients deserved that same level of healing in a way that integrated mind, body and spirit, she opened her private practice, Medicinal Innovations in April 2023, offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.
She is committed to expanding access to those who have barriers to care and have been disadvantaged by our broken medical system. She completed Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy training through Polaris Insight Center and Rainfall Medicine. She is a graduate of the Innertrek Psilocybin Facilitator program. www.medicinalinnovations.com
